Re: Cannot Protect Document

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

No I didn't. But what did happen is I was not able to open .pdf files that
were attached to emails. I removed Adobe and reinstalled. Did several
reboots and now it seems to be working. I wouldn't have thought they were
related, but maybe somehow they are. I can't think of anything else I did
different on my computer that would have triggered it to work.

Let me know if I can help in any other way. My email is khilton@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
